About the Item
Antique Imperial Palace Chinese Peking Silk Rug, 212 × 125 cm, Early 20th Century
A rare and opulent example of early 20th-century Chinese mastery, this Imperial Palace Peking rug embodies refinement, symbolism, and exquisite craftsmanship. Measuring 212 × 125 cm, this silk masterpiece was likely woven for a high-ranking residence, possibly even court use, as evidenced by its lavish palette and regal design motifs. The field is dominated by an intricate pattern of stylized lotus blossoms, cloud bands, and scrolling vines woven in luxurious shades of deep imperial purple, antique gold, and soft lilac. Four prominent roundels featuring the Shou (寿) character, representing longevity, anchor the composition, while auspicious Chinese script along the top border conveys blessings of prosperity and abundance. The silk pile shimmers with movement and elegance, bringing the intricate design to life under different lighting conditions. The border, richly embellished with layered floral and cloud motifs, adds a sense of harmony and cosmic balance to the overall structure. Peking rugs of this caliber were produced in limited numbers and are increasingly rare, particularly in this imperial-inspired colorway and refined silk construction. This piece is not only a collector’s dream but a historical work of art.
